Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03075007A2] The invention concerns a method for determining the absolute cell count of an identifiable cell sub-population contained in a sample by introducing into an aliquot of said biological sample a pre-determined amount of a fluid reagent comprising a known concentration of fixed and labelled cells; then using flow cytometry to determine an absolute cell count of said cell sub-population.
